El Mariachi

Amy and Paul sing the praises of Robert Rodriguez’s low-budget action breakthrough El Mariachi! They go to ten minute film school with Rodriguez, learn about the unexpected bidding war over the film, and ask why filmmakers from Texas are so good at working outside the Hollywood system. Plus: How many ingredients are needed for a proper breakfast taco?   Next week, tune in as we watch Evil Dead II!
